Calibre(cal_2011.4_35.27) compatible with IC615?

Dear Folks,

 

   We installed the Calibre (x86_cal_2011.4_35.27) on both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux machines with IC615 (IC-6.1.5-hf510). But it does not seem working properly. The calibre interface can be opened, but the DRC and RVE can not be run and showed the following errors:

 

 *Error* fprintf/sprintf: format spec. incompatible with data - "Format is '%s -hierDepth %s', argument #2 is 20"
<<< Stack Trace >>>
_sprintf("%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth))
(strm_cmd = _sprintf("%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth)))
sprintf(strm_cmd "%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth))
when(((streamOutKeys->

hierDepth) && ((streamOutKeys->hierDepth) != "")) sprintf(strm_cmd "%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth)))
let((strm_cmd tf) sprintf(nil "%L%L%L%L" libName cellName viewName ... ) (strm_cmd = strcat("strmout -library '" (streamOutKeys->libName) "'" " -strmFile " (streamOutKeys->outFile) ... )) unless(((streamOutKeys->cellMapTable) == "") (strm_cmd = strcat(strm_cmd " -cellMap " &))) unless(((streamOutKeys->layerTable) == "") (strm_cmd = strcat(strm_cmd " -layerMap " &))) ... )
mgc_rve_export_get_oastream_cmd(libName cellName viewName fileName)
(cmd = mgc_rve_export_get_oastream_cmd(libName cellName viewName fileName))

 

   Has anyone met the same problem?

    Hello.

    This problem can be addressed by making a couple of minor changes to the file mgc_export.skl which is found in the mentor/calibre tree.  In that file, you will see the format strings being used to process hierDepth and maxVertices (they both will fail, but the stack trace occurs on the first failure).

    Using Andrew's suggestion, we first determined what streamOutKeys-hierDepth is being set to - string or decimal.  They we alter the format string to match.  Same for maxVertices.

    Exercise care, especially if you are in a multi-version environment.  At some point in the past, we edited our file to expect decimals, and now we have to undo it.  It seems different IC or Calibre sub-versions may have built streamOutKeys differently.  I am not sure which tool actually builds that data structure.

    Good Luck
